best way to have storage vlan available to host AND vms?
I'm trying to allow a particular iSCSI VLAN to be available to all hosts.. but also to a few select VMs. Im finding this challenging, since prior to now, I did host iSCSI config on the host-local level. i used the cockpit GUI to create a "VLAN" entity, assigned it to an interface, and then configured an IP address. But when I attempt to create a "network"(/aka VLAN) entity from the main hosted-engine level.. it seems to conflict with prior host-local created ones. and when I remove the host-local entries... I no longer seem to have a way in the GUI to create IP addresses for the host, from host cockpit? It recognises that the entity exists, but put it in the "unmanaged" section. So.. how can I handle this best? -- Philip Brown| Sr. Linux System Administrator | Medata, Inc. 5 Peters Canyon Rd Suite 250 Irvine CA 92606 Office 714.918.1310| Fax 714.918.1325 pbrown@medata.com| www.medata.com

This should be straightforward from within engine gui. No need to mess with cockpit. At networks you add a network and tag it with required vlan. Flag the network as VM network, so as to become available for guest VM use. Then at each host, at the network management interface of the host, you drag the new network at the needed physical interface. Repeat same for all hosts and you're done.

Not quite done. How do I then assign a host-level IP address in the VLAN? I did mention i need it for both VM use, and host level use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex K" <rightkicktech@gmail.com> To: "Philip Brown" <pbrown@medata.com> Cc: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2020 1:11:22 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] best way to have storage vlan available to host AND vms?

Forgot to mention that you can set host ip at that same vlan through the same host network management interface. There is a pencil icon where you click and configure what you need. Sorry no screenshots at the moment.

AH, I cant believe I didn't notice that before! yup, in the engine GUI, under... Hosts -> (specific host, click on it) Network Interfaces -> [Setup Host Networks ] and then AFTER I have dragged the desired new network/VLAN over to a specific interface... Then a little pencil icon appears on it, and I get to set up IP address, etc. Thank you, this seems to be exactly what I needed :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex" <rightkicktech@gmail.com> To: "Philip Brown" <pbrown@medata.com> Cc: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2020 1:23:08 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] best way to have storage vlan available to host AND vms?
